Ridge and soffit ventilation added during a replacement often does more for the roof's service life than upgrading the shingle line. Most housing is under 15 years old, so roofing here is about storm damage or an early-failing builder install rather than age.
What it costs in Groveland: the hurricane deductible is a percentage of dwelling coverage — often 2% to 5% — not a flat amount, so a claim needs to clear a much higher bar than a regular wind claim.
Many Florida carriers now offer policies that pay actual cash value on older roofs rather than full replacement cost — worth checking before you assume a claim will cover a new roof.
